The battery for your MtP400 printer is shipped in an “uncharged” state. The battery must be charged using the
following instructions prior to using the printer for the first time. Maximum battery capacity is not reached

Please refer to Figure 1 and insert the battery by sliding it into the battery compartment until the release lever on
the battery “snaps” into place.
